Publisher Description
Newsflash: Grand Jury just empaneled to investigate the unsolved murder of Martha Moxley!
The night of October 30, 1975, fifteen-year-old Martha Moxley was bludgeoned and stabbed with a golf club on the grounds of her family1s Greenwich home.
The golf club that killed Martha came from the house of Thomas and Michael Skakel, two boys who had been with Martha the night she died.
Wealthy and prominent in their own right, the Skakels were also related to the Kennedys, as Ethel Skakel Kennedy was the boys' aunt. When the police started looking closely at the Skakels' involvement, the family refused to cooperate.
In Murder in Greenwich, the former LAPD homicide detective Mark Fuhrman follows his controversial role in the O.J. Simpson trial by investigating the unsolved homicide from the beginning. Using his detective skills, he analyzes the case and uncovers explosive new information.
Mark Fuhrman reveals: - How the local police mishandled the investigation from the beginning.- How the murder weapon was found-and then lost-at the crime scene. - How wealth and influence interfered with the investigation.- How authorities tried to stop Fuhrman's investigation.
A beautiful teenager was brutally murdered in an exclusive and well-guarded suburb. How could it happen? Why did her killer get away with it? Who was involved in the cover-up? What role did the town of Greenwich itself play in this tragic story? From his investigation, Mark Fuhrman will offer his answer to these questions, as well as the question that everyone is still asking ""Who killed Martha Moxley?""

"I read this book several years ago, but with the Skakels back in the news, I wanted to reread the book. I enjoyed the presentation of the facts and the author's assumption as to what really happened that night, since the police mishandled the case from the beginning, but the narration was awful. Absolutely no expression. Additionally, I thought the book was grossly overpriced for a 3 hour book. "

“A compelling read, a real-life Agatha Christie novel.”
— National Review -
“Fuhrman presents a detailed, straightforward piece of work—notably not splashy or sensational—in which he convincingly identifies the person he believes is responsible for the murder.”

" This is a true story about a fifteen year old girl murdered in a rich neighborhood. It explores the case,clues, and suspects. The case was not solved for twenty years or more. The lesson is you may not always know the people you see and talk to every day. "

— Cynthia, 3/15/2012 -
" All that needs to be said about this one is that rich people think they can get away with anything, and they usually do, even murder. "
— Unsolved, 11/13/2011 -

— Laura, 8/29/2011 -

— Joann, 4/14/2011 -
" Having lived in Greenwich and remember about this case as I was in High School at the time it was a good read. "
— Debra, 2/27/2011 -
